Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Big Brother
Every coach on the long western-bound train was crowded with passengers. Dust and smoke poured in at the windows and even the breeze seemed hot as it blew across the prairie cornfields burning in the July sun.
It was a relief when the engine stopped at last in front of a small village depot. There was a rush for the lunch counter and the restaurant door, where a noisy gong announced dinner.
"Blackberries! blackberries! " called a shrill little voice on the platform. A barefoot girl, wearing a sun-bonnet, passed under the car windows, holding up a basket full, that shone like great black beads.
